Great to meet you!

I help individuals navigate trauma, eating disorder recovery, and emotional challenges in a way that feels supportive and grounded. My experience working in higher levels of care has shaped my understanding of how layered and complex healing can be. I bring warmth, curiosity, and respect for the ways you’ve learned to survive, while helping you build self-trust and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel distant.

My approach to therapy

My approach is relational, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, patterns, and internal world while balancing deeper exploration with practical tools. I draw from ACT, CBT, and IFS, and may incorporate Brainspotting to support deeper processing and connection with the body. I value the quiet wins: small shifts that reflect meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a gentle place to start, a chance to slow down and begin making sense of what has brought you here. You don’t need a perfectly clear goal or the right words. We’ll identify what feels most important and begin at a pace that respects both your desire for change and the parts of you that may feel hesitant. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and a little less alone.
